China has no official floral emblem
it has been discussed in the People Congress for years, but so far no resolution has been passed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.89.156.38 ( talk) 07:12, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
The Republic of China government, which overthrew the Qing empire in 1911, named the plum blossom (also known as ume) the national floral emblem for its fortitude and courage (plum blossoms bloom in the dead of winter) and continues to recognize it as such to this day. However, having lost the Chinese civil war to the current communist government, this official recognition of the plum blossom as a national floral symbol is now limited to Taiwan, where the Republic of China government resides in exile from Mainland China.
This is totally wrong and misleading, ROC adopted ume as national floral emblem in 1964.-- 刻意(Kèyì) 01:51, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
This article is a mix of fantasy and romantic embellishment, as well as giving facts that are more likely from Washington Irvine or a bad Francoist propaganda movie. The "seedy side"? "Gypsy's lapels"? "thrown into bullrings"? "Caprice"? Not really neutral, information-centred terms, as well as far removed from reality and bordering on offensive. I suggest it be reduced to the bare minimum. Will ( talk) 11:56, 16 October 2013 (UTC)

"Palestine's national flower would be '
Palestinian Poppy'."
Palestine has no official floral emblem.
In addition, there is no flower called "Palestinian Poppy",
The link actually redirects to "Anemone coronaria" and there is no reference to the alleged flower in any source I could find other than this section.
"Palestinian flowers reflect the country itself"
It's a matter of debate, but Palestine isn't actually a country.
"its ancientness/antiquity, its gentleness,"
The term "Palestinian People" is less than 50 years old, so I cant really understand this "ancientness" part.
"and the fact that it is at the same time part of the
Mediterranean basin to the west and part of the vast
desert to the east."
how does THAT has anything to do with flowers?
This whole section is just a bunch of bogus claims.
Dear,
Being Belgian,I've never heard of a national flower for my country so I was asking myself from where was coming the red poppy referenced on this article (unsourced) ?
I agree that the red poppy is a common flower here in Belgium but I'm not aware of anything official about it (or even unofficial).
The only flowers "recognized" are the swamp iris present on the flag of the Brussel-Capital region https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drapeau_de_la_R%C3%A9gion_de_Bruxelles-Capitale, traditionally recognized as the floral emblem of this region, and the Gaillardia, official floral emblem of Wallonia region since the 12/03/2016 source.
If nobody comes with a source or an explanation I suggest to delete this flower from this list.
I guess it's coming from the[ Remembrance poppy] and to[ the poem In Flanders Fields], but not to the country itself.

This talkpage is full of complaints of readers who find their own countries getting ascribed "national flowers" they've never heard of. The entire article is a nightmare of unsourced claims. It gives the impression as if the huge majority of countries worldwide had national flowers or floral "emblems". Why would they? As this problem has apparently been festering for years, I'm going to take the radical step to eliminate each and every entry in the list that isn't reliably sourced. Which might well amount to more than 90% of the page; I don't know yet. Please reinclude only properly sourced entries (and note that websites such as https://www.theflowerexpert.com/content/aboutflowers/national-flowers do not count).

Floral emblem → List of national flowers – The present name is very confusing, and suggests floral emblems of any kind, but this is the list of national flowers, a redirect which already goes here.
